...DEFINITION OF 'SOLVENCY RATIO'A key metric used to measure an enterprise’s ability to meet its debt and other obligations. The solvency ratio indicates whether a company’s cash flow is sufficient to meet its short-term and long-term liabilities. The lower a company's solvency ratio, the greater the probability that it will default on its debt obligations. The measure is usually calculated as follows: Solvency ratio, with regard to an insurance company, means the size of its capital relative to the premiums written, and measures the risk an insurer faces of claims it cannot cover. The solvency ratio is only one of the metrics used to determine whether a company can stay solvent. Other solvency ratios include debt to equity, total debt to total assets, and interest coverage ratios. However, the solvency ratio is a comprehensive measure of solvency, as it measures cash flow – rather than net income – by including depreciation to assess a company’s capacity to stay afloat. It measures this cash flow capacity in relation to all liabilities, rather than only debt. Apart from debt and borrowings, other liabilities include short-term ones such as accounts payable and long-term ones such as capital lease and pension plan obligations. Measuring cash flow rather than net income is a better determinant of solvency, especially for companies that incur large amounts of depreciation for their assets but have low levels of actual profitability. Similarly, assessing a company’s ability...

...A Comparative Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Three Solvency Management Models By Enyi, Patrick Enyi Ph.D, MBA, B.Sc, ACA, ACCA, MFP, RFS. Fellow, American Academy of Financial Management (AAFM) Member, American Accounting Association (AAA) Head, Department of Accounting, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria A Comparative Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Three Solvency Management Models Abstract The introduction of the Altman’s Z-score model in 1983 and much recently the Enyi’s Relative Solvency Ratio model in 2005 has divergently provided financial analysts with alternative methods of analyzing corporate solvency which hitherto was exclusively done using the traditional historical record based ratio analysis, with particular reference to the current ratio. To test the relevance and effectiveness of the three models, real life performance data were extracted from the annual reports of 7 quoted companies, analyzed using the three models and the results compared to show the strengths and weaknesses of each. The result revealed that the current ratio and the Z-score models suffer from many limitations including imprecision while the Relative Solvency Ratio combines the capability of an effective indicator with the precision required of a true predictor.

...Huffman Trucking Ratio Analysis Memo ACC/291 June 28, 2012 James Haynes Ratio Analysis Memo Starting in 1936, in Cleveland, Ohio, K. Huffman founded Huffman Trucking. “The growth of the company was the direct result of World War II and the increased demand for carrier services between factories in the Midwest to ports on the East Coast.” As of today, Huffman Trucking has transitioned from a single tractor trailer to 925 drivers and 800 tractors, and continues to provide the same delivery service across the nation. Our financial analysis team has looked over financial statements to determine the liquidity, profitability, and solvency ratios of Huffman Trucking. These ratios provide detailed information to creditors, investors, and employees. Together, the ratios reveal data related to the performance and position of Huffman Trucking. What do the liquidity, profitability, and solvency ratios reveal about the financial position of the company? The liquidity ratio of a company shows the way the company is able to pay back short-term debt that is owed. Creditors would be interested in this type of ratio. The profitability ratios are the profit performance that makes up the financial success of the company. Profitability ratios would be beneficial to individuals outside of the company such as investors and creditors. Solvency ratios are the ability of the company to pay off the long term debt. The company’s solvency ratios are of interest to long-term creditors and the company’s’...

...1.Comparative Analysis To make a comprehensive and precise comparison, other than EA., we select Singapore Airlines Limited which is one of the most significant competitors in the world. All of our analysis is based on data which are drawn from Bloom Business and other authoritative websites, which contain 2 companies’ financial reports 2010-2012 including balance sheet and income statement. By comparing Emirates and Singapore Airlines we can make a brief conclusion of the EA’s financial situation. 1.1 Profitability Profitability is showed by the firm’s amount and level of income, and it can indicate the increase value of capital. 1.1.1 Net Profit Margin Net profit margin indicates how well the company converts sales into profits after all expenses are subtracted out. We can see from the chart that EA’s net profit margin was dramatically low in 2012,which is due to the increasing operating costs（mainly include the shooting up of Crude Oil price). However, it's profit margin is a little higher than the competitor because of its geographical advantage. 1.1.2 Return On Asset The higher the return on assets ratio, the more efficiently the company issuing its asset base to generate airline services. So EA’s efficiency of asset used is decreasing sharply in 2012. However, EA has higher efficiency than its competitor. 1.1.3 Return on shareholders funds ROSF allows investors to see how effectively the money they invested...

...The Use of Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis is a tool used by individuals to conduct a quantitative analysis of information in a company's financial statements. Ratios are calculated from current year numbers and are then compared to previous years, other companies, the industry, or even the economy to judge the performance of the company. Ratio analysis is predominately used by proponents of fundamental analysis to judge the performance of the company. Analyzing ratios is used to evaluate a company's present performance and its possible future performance. In a fact, interpretation of different accounting ratio lets the researcher fully understand the financial condition and performance of a business concern. Ratio itself is the comparison of one figure to another relevant figure. (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/ratioanalysis.asp) There are many ratios that you can use to analyze the financial health of a business. In this paper I will discuss four financial performance areas that I think are worth analyzing: Liquidity, profitability, solvency, and efficiency. I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using these ratios. First of all, Liquidity is the ability of the firm to convert assets into cash. It is also called marketability or short-term solvency. The liquidity of a business firm is usually of particular interest to its short-term creditors since the liquidity of the firm measures its ability to pay those creditors. Several financial ratios measure the liquidity...
